Chapter 986 The two armies are deadlocked

A group of Hun cavalry met Geng Shu, and two scimitars slashed at Geng Shu's left and right sides.

Geng Shu parried with his halberd. While holding the two scimitars, he swept his halberd horizontally outwards. Blood mist spattered from the chests of the two Huns cavalry, and they fell off their horses almost at the same time.

A group of Youzhou cavalry also rushed up and got into a melee with the Huns cavalry. Geng Shu cut a bloody path, carrying a tiger-headed halberd, and chased King Auri directly.

King Ori Zhu was galloping on his horse while secretly twisting his bow and setting an arrow. Geng Shu was getting closer and closer to him. When the two were only ten meters away, he suddenly turned around and aimed at Geng who was catching up.

Shu, shot an arrow hard.

This time Geng Shu was on guard. He raised the tiger's head and his halberd outwards, and heard a crisp clang sound, and the arrow that flew towards him was lifted into the air.

Seeing this, King Aurizhu was horrified, and hurriedly put another arrow on the bowstring, and continued to shoot an arrow at Geng Shu.

Geng Shu's head tilted to the side, and the arrow flew past his cheek. Without giving King Ori the chance to shoot the third arrow, Geng Shu chased King Ori and approached him, stabbing forward with his halberd.

Taking the opponent's back. King Ori was so frightened that he leaned down to dodge, narrowly escaping the blow. At the same time, he threw the longbow back with all his strength and hit Geng Shu. Geng Shu Leng

With a snort, he swung his halberd outward, and there was a click, and the long bow that flew over was cut into two pieces by him.

King Ori Zhu hugged the horse's neck with both hands and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, urging the horse to gallop forward desperately.

Geng Shu gave a loud shout and threw the halberd in his hand forward fiercely. A popping sound was heard in his ears. This flying halberd hit King Ori directly in the back.

He screamed and couldn't sit still on the horse. He turned sideways and fell off the horse with a thud.

Seeing that King Ori Zhu was injured and fell off his horse, four Huns cavalry rushed over from all sides and attacked Geng Shu. Without thinking, Geng Shu pulled out the Huanshou knife from under his ribs and fought with the four Huns cavalry with the sword.

.

Ding-ding-ding-ding! The sound of the collision of iron weapons continued. Geng Shu's chest and back armor were each hit twice with two swords. However, his ring-headed sword also succeeded in beheading the two Huns from their horses.

The remaining two Huns cavalry both roared, and one of them abandoned his horse and pounced on Geng Shu.

Plop! Geng Shu and the Hun cavalry flew over and fell off their horses.

After landing on the ground, Geng Shu stabbed the opponent's chest with a knife. Finally, the Huns cavalry rode up, approached Geng Shu, and swung his knife across his neck. Geng Shu quickly drew his knife and blocked it.

Bang! With a loud noise, Geng Shu took several steps back. The Hun cavalry's horse passed by him. Then, the opponent tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed back. The scimitar was already there.

It was to chop off Geng Shu’s head.

This time Geng Shu did not block anymore, but rolled on the ground and swung his sword. Hearing a click, the right front hoof of the war horse shortened in response. The horse neighed and fell forward. The Hun soldiers on the horse also grabbed it.

On the ground.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of broken bones, the Hun soldier's neck was directly crushed and he died.

After getting rid of the four Huns cavalry, Geng Shu gasped and stood up from the ground. He held the bloody ring-headed sword and walked step by step towards King Auri.

At this time, King Ori Zhu had not yet expired. He had a tiger-head halberd stuck on his back and was squirming on the ground.

Geng Shu walked up to King Ori Zhu, looked down at the dying King Ori Zhu, and sneered. He raised the ring-headed sword in his hand high, intending to chop it down.

Following two strange screams, two more Huns cavalry rushed up. Geng Shu gave a loud shout and threw the raised sword directly.

The Huanshou sword was spinning in the air and hit a Hun cavalry in the chest. Poof, the Hun cavalry on horseback fell backwards.

Immediately afterwards, Geng Shu forcibly pulled out the tiger-headed halberd stuck on King Ori's back, and swung it to the side with all his strength, and there was another crisp sound.

The Hun war horse that was galloping over was decapitated by his halberd. The headless horse corpse fell to the ground with a crash, and the Hun cavalry on the horse fell far away.

King Auri lay on the ground, turned his head with difficulty, looked at Geng Shu beside him, and said intermittently: "Geng... Geng Shu..."

"It is better to hang your head among the barbarian mansions on the street to show that you are thousands of miles away. Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be killed no matter how far away!" As he spoke, Geng Shu raised his halberd and slashed downwards with all his strength.

There was only a click sound, and the sharp edge of the halberd hit Ori Zhuwang's neck. The headless body remained in place, and the severed head was blown far away.

Geng Shu walked over and used the tip of his halberd to lift up the severed head of King Ori Zhu. He held the halberd in one hand, raised it high in the air, and roared loudly around him.

When the Hun soldiers around saw the decapitated head of King Auri, their faces suddenly changed with fright. The people no longer wanted to fight, and they all started to flee.

Geng Shu walked back to his horse with his halberd in hand, got on his horse, pointed his halberd at the fleeing Huns cavalry, and shouted loudly: "Kill all the barbarians, all our Han army officers and men!"

"Kill -" the Youzhou cavalry and the Western Expeditionary Army cavalry present all shouted in unison, and people followed Geng Shu and began to pursue the fleeing Huns cavalry with all their might.

King Auri Zhu was the third Hun king killed by Geng Shu. The scale of this battle was not large. The total strength of both sides was only more than 10,000 horses. However, the battle was fierce.

The casualties were not small, but as King Ori Zhu was killed by Geng Shu, the Huns cavalry suddenly lost their fighting spirit and the will to continue fighting. They gave up resistance and fled. The next battle evolved into

One party pursued and massacred the other.

It has to be said that Geng Shu did have a way of defeating the Huns. He had never lost a battle with the Huns.

Of the two brothers Geng Yan and Geng Shu, the former's glorious record was reflected in the internal war, while the latter's glorious record was reflected in the external war.

Jia Lan thought that the Hun cavalry could defeat the Han army attacking the circle. He did not expect that the Hun cavalry led by King Auri Zhu himself would be intercepted halfway by the Han cavalry led by Geng Shu. What was even worse was that Auri

King Zhu was also killed by Geng Shu.

The confrontation between the two armies is like a chessboard game. The competition is to see who can see through the opponent's plan while preventing the other party from seeing through his own plan.

Jia Lan calculated everything, but failed to consider Geng Shu, which led to the complete collapse of his layout system.

Geng Shu defeated the Huns cavalry, and Han Xin led his troops to attack the city without any interference. The 20,000-strong army broke through Quanyin in one go and successfully occupied the city.

When Jia Lan led his troops to Quanyin, Han Xin's troops had already entered the city and completed the defense on the city head.

The troops led by Jia Lan encountered a fierce counterattack by Han Xin's defenders. The rolling logs and stones on the top of the city were like snow flakes, and the arrows flying down were like strong winds and rain. Jia Lan's soldiers were unable to attack at all.

After fighting for half an hour, Jia Lan saw that his side had suffered too many casualties and had no choice but to retreat.

At this time, the 50,000-strong army led by Jia Lan was blocked by the Han army in the plain area between Enanyin and Enanyang.

To the north is Quanyin City, to the south is Quanyang City, to the east is the river, to the west are mountains, and all four directions are dead ends.

The chance of a forced breakout was very slim, so Jia Lan could only lead his troops to camp between the two cities of Quanyin and Quanyang. At the same time, he ordered his subordinates who were good at swimming to swim across the river, send a message to Lu Fang, and ask Lu Fang for help.

Now Jia Lan's only hope is to wait for reinforcements from Lu Fang.

The war situation in Xihe County began to reach a stalemate. Jia Lan's tribe was trapped between the two cities and it was difficult to break out. However, because there were many trenches dug by Jia Lan's tribe in this area, the Han army was unwilling to attack Jia Lan's tribe.

Launching an active attack, both sides are temporarily in a situation where neither can do anything about the other.

But neither side had time to waste it. Jia Lan's army had very limited food and grass, and they did not have the capital to spend it with the Han army. Similarly, the Han army was eager to cooperate with Liu Xiu's battle against Wei Xiao, and they did not have the capital to fight with Jia Lan.

Consumption.

This is the current embarrassment for both parties.

The Western Expedition Army led by Feng Yi was temporarily held back in Xihe County, while on the Luoyang side, the Han Army had already begun to march westward.

This time the Han army marched westward and dispatched 100,000 elite troops. The emperor Liu Xiu personally led the expedition. Along with Liu Xiu were Geng Yan, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, Ji Zun, Fu Jun and other generals.

The banner of the Han army's western expedition this time was not to attack Weixiao, but to attack Gongsun Shu. However, the road they took was not from Sanfu to Hanzhong, but to borrow the Long Road from Weixiao and go from Longshan to Hanzhong.

The road entered Shu.

This was Liu Xiuzai's last fight against Kaixiao. If Kaixiao was willing to borrow the Long Road to allow his own army to pass, it meant that he was not dead-set on Gongsun Shu. If he refused to borrow the Long Road, then there would be nothing to say.

, one hundred thousand of our own troops are the gravediggers of Kaixiao.

One hundred thousand troops set out from Luoyang, headed west, and soon entered Hongnong County. There are seven counties in the Sili area, Henan, Hedong, Hanoi, Hongnong, and Sanfu (Jingzhao Chang'an, Fufeng County, Fengyi County

Collectively known as Sanfu).

Hongnong is the smallest county in the Sili region. There are only nine counties in the county, but it has a large population and the nine cities are also very lively and prosperous.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, Hongnong County is just across the road. There are two routes to the two places, one is by dry road and the other is by water. Liu Xiu went on an expedition with the army, so naturally he could not take the water route.

After entering Hongnong, generals Geng Yan and Ma Wu suggested to Liu Xiu that they should kill Wei Xun, the son of Wei Xiao.

Liu Xiu thought about it for a while and finally rejected the generals' request. If he killed Wei Xun now, it would be impossible for Wei Xiao to look back. Liu Xiu felt that it was too early to kill Wei Xun now.

This is the sorrow of Proton. His destiny is not in his own hands, but in the hands of others. Whether he lives or dies depends entirely on someone else's words.

When the army arrived at Hongnong City, the county seat of Hongnong, Liu Xiu sent an envoy to She. He took the first step and went to Liangzhou to see Wei Xiao and find out what he said.

Lai She was ordered to go to Tianshui in Liangzhou with Liu Xiu's edict.

He arrived in Tianshui successfully, but failed to see Wei Xiao.

Not long after Lai She entered Tianshui City, he met an old acquaintance. To be precise, it was this old acquaintance who took the initiative to find him, Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan is a general under Wei Xiao, but he has a very good relationship with Luoyang. He has been sent to Luoyang many times under the orders of Wei Xiao, and he admires Liu Xiu very much. Ma Yuan and Lai She are also old acquaintances. This time they were in Tianshui

When they met in the city, Lai She was surprised and happy, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu Bo? Long time no see. Brother Fu Bo, how are you?"

Ma Yuan was named Fu Bo. He quickly dismounted, walked up to Lai She, looked left and right, and pulled him into a small alley on the street. Lai She had a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why Ma Yuan was so nervous.

Mysterious.

He asked: "Brother Fubo, what are you doing?"

"Doctor Lai, why are you here in Tianshui now?" Lai She's official position is Taizhong doctor. Lai She looked surprised and said, "I came here on your Majesty's order!"

"It's too late, it's too late!" Ma Yuan shook his head as he spoke.

"Why is it too late?" Lai She asked with a confused face.
